Scene of the Crime with Author Maureen Jennings!

Like almost everyone else I don't just read mysteries, I also watch them-- "Inspector Morse," "Lewis," "Endeavour," "Castle," "NCIS," "Elementary"... the list of favorites is a long one. But for quite some time now, a Canadian mystery series has been right at the top of my favorites list. "Murdoch Mysteries" is set in 1890s Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and from the sets to the actors to the stories, I really enjoy it. Now usually when I watch a mystery series, I don't bother reading the books that it's based on. I know how things can change during the transformation from book to screen. But "Murdoch" was different, so I tracked down the very first book (Except the Dying-- you'll be reading my review in the next post). In the process I discovered that the author, Maureen Jennings has written a couple of other series as well. After reading the first Murdoch mystery, these other books have gone on my wish list.

It's only natural that while I was looking up all her books I found a few links to share with you as well. I hope you'll all take the opportunity to learn more about this talented writer.

Thank you so much, Maureen, for spending this time with us. It was a pleasure to be able to get to know you a little better.

May your book sales do nothing but increase!

My review of Maureen's very first book to be published, Except the Dying, follows this interview. I hope you're now intrigued enough to check out her books as well as the excellent television series, "Murdoch Mysteries," which Americans can watch via Netflix or Amazon (if you're a Prime member).

To end this interview, I couldn't resist posting a photo of Maureen that I fell in love with. It shows her hard at work in Scotland. Happy Reading!

I have purchased and read every book Maureen has written (except the non fiction - way above my head) and I can thoroughly recommend them. Each one is so well researched and I really enjoy her writing style, I just can't put them down! Denise

Looking for something?

Thanks for stopping by!

About Me

Hi! I'm addicted to books (especially crime fiction), laughter and traveling off the beaten path. In my free time, when my eyes aren't glued to the printed page, one of them is usually pressed against the viewfinder of my camera. Let's see... books, laughter, travel, photography. Anything else? Oh yeah-- my dream house wouldn't have a kitchen!
